Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go

Oh and how can anybody seriously pick anyone else apart from Slater at full back? ![]()
I agree Slater is a better FB than Tomkins. He is looking amazing this year in a much tougher comp. But in a world 13 you would want the best players. Slater would be better than the majority of wingers IMO so why not have the two form players in world rugby both in the team?

There're several excellent wingers in the world so why not play one of them on the wing and one of the best full backs of all time at full back instead (I'm talking about Slater btw)?
I noticed you also had Hock and Moi Moi in your team. Pure gold! |

Hock isn't really a debate. He is currently the most devastating backrower in the world.
Moi Moi is a strange one but I wanted to pick the 4 best impact players I could think of. There are too many good props to pick one for the bench so I just went for the one who offers the most impact. |

Its time for a change! We need to get rid of the idiots running the RLIF before they damage the sport beyond repair!
Go the Tigers, Blues and Roos!: |

Jamie Lyon would be nowhere near this team.
Nor would moi moi, darius Boyd and Ryan hall based on form this year!

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Lyon's been superb this year, if he hadn't have taken himself out of rep footy he'd be playing for nsw. |

Agreed sheldon - Lyon has been absolutely sublime for Manly this year. He doesn't have the blockbusting power/pace of an Inglis, but he's a delight to watch, absolutely terrorising defences at times.
If I were a coach I'd get a greatest hits video of Lyon and make sure any young centre in my team sat and watched it many times.

I wouldn't put Hall in myself, but how has he been in poor form? This statement confuses me.

A lot of selections are in the Eye of the beholder.
Look at Brett Morris he is not in anyone's team as a Winger yet he has the best figures of any current Winger at Test level in recent times.
11 tries from 10 games 5 v NZ, 3 v Eng, 1 v PNG and 2 V France.
Compared to Ryan Hall the BWW, 6 tries from 10 games 3 v Aus, 2 v France and 1 v NZ
Both have Test careers since 2009.
Edit, I have talked myself into including Morris, Uate is too hit and miss.

There is no way I would play the best player in his position in the World out of place.
Slater is a Fullback and he is the best around.
You may play with second best Centres or Fullbacks on the wing as a utility.

i heard somewhere that inglis is actually the better fullback and when slater and inglis where at the same club the coach shifted slater to the wing to accomodate inglis at fullback.
i have seen inglis at fb for souffs and he looks superb there
